All seven Magnificent Seven stocks fell today. Here's where that money actually went (July 23, 2026)
All seven Magnificent Seven stocks were red by late morning Thursday, led by Tesla's 14% drop on an earnings miss and Alphabet's close-to-7% slide despite beating estimates, on another capex raise. Amazon and Meta sold off too ahead of next week's reports. The money didn't just leave, it rotated: into defense on Lockheed's earnings beat, and out of quantum, SaaS and space.
Tesla (TSLA) and Alphabet (GOOGL) are falling hard. The rest of the AI trade isn't (July 23, 2026)
Tesla and Alphabet kept falling through Thursday morning even as chipmakers, neoclouds and photonics stocks held up fine. Oil topped $100 a barrel after Trump threatened to bomb Iranian infrastructure over any new attack on shipping.
Jim Cramer's tech calls are still lagging the rest of his book. Intel is 1 for 5, and IBM crashed the day after his second buy call.
Jim Cramer's tech calls are still his weak spot. Intel is 1 for 5 since June, IBM is down nearly 30% since his back-to-back buy calls, and his tech picks trail the Nasdaq-100 by more than three points a call even after Tuesday's chip bounce.
IREN signed $2.8 billion in AI contracts, and bitcoin miner stocks rallied with it
IREN closed up 19.6% after announcing $2.8 billion in new AI cloud contracts. Hut 8 and CleanSpark had data center lease news of their own, while CIFR, SLNH and KEEL rallied in sympathy. The fuel: Moonshot AI is turning away paying Kimi K3 subscribers because it ran out of GPU capacity.
Nebius (NBIS) tried a $1 billion customer deal and a new business model to stop its stock slide. A $775 million loan is what actually worked.
Nebius raised $775 million in its first-ever secured debt facility, backed by GPU infrastructure and contracted cash flows, without issuing new shares. The stock is up more than 5% today, defying a weak Nasdaq, after a $1 billion customer deal and a new partnership model both failed to stop a 22% five-day slide.
Nebius (NBIS) signed a $1 billion deal this week. Its stock is down 14% today anyway, worse than the chipmakers.
Nebius signed a $1 billion, multi-year AI compute deal with Reflection AI, and its stock is still down about 14% today. The pressure has spread well past chips: CoreWeave, crypto miners like IREN and Cipher Mining, power stocks like Talen Energy and Vistra, and now New York's data-center moratorium and a Trump-Hochul clash are all weighing on the same trade.
The Close, July 14: IBM lost a quarter of its value, and SK Hynix's Nasdaq stock jumped 27%
IBM lost about a quarter of its value in a single session after a weak preliminary report, and the damage spread across enterprise software. SK Hynix's brand-new Nasdaq stock went the other way, jumping 27% on a day chips broadly rallied.
New York froze new data centers for a year, and TeraWulf just became the day's biggest loser because of it. Nebius, close behind, has nothing to do with New York.
Governor Hochul signed a first-in-the-nation moratorium on new hyperscale data centers today, and TeraWulf (WULF) fell 6.7%, the hardest hit in the group, because it owns exactly the kind of project the order targets. Nebius (NBIS) fell almost as much, and Digital Realty (DLR) also dropped on real New York exposure, but Nebius and CoreWeave (CRWV) have nothing to do with Albany.
Bullish Watch, week of July 13: the market panicked over a Meta headline, and got it wrong
This week's watchlist, updated through Tuesday: Nebius gave back its early bounce on a data-center headline unrelated to its business, Kraken Robotics is holding up best of the five, Intel swung from a 6% drop to a 4.5% rally in two days, and Rocket Lab and Harmonic are still finding their footing.
Chip stocks just had their best day in weeks. Meta and Amazon are both betting billions that AI compute demand isn't topping out (MU, WDC, META)
Micron, SanDisk, and Western Digital are having their best day in weeks. A week after a rumor said Meta had too much AI compute, Meta and Amazon both bet billions that demand is still growing, and Samsung's own record quarter couldn't shake investors until this week's data center news did.
What is an AI neocloud? CoreWeave (CRWV) and Nebius (NBIS), explained
Neoclouds like CoreWeave and Nebius buy GPUs with debt and rent out the computing power to AI companies. Here is how the business model works, and the risk built into it.
Meta said it had spare compute. Then it broke ground on a $9 billion data center in Canada (META, CRWV, NBIS)
A week after Meta's excess-compute cloud plan crushed the neoclouds, it broke ground on a C$13 billion, 1-gigawatt data center in Alberta, Canada. The demand is real.
TeraWulf, CoreWeave, and Nebius are having a big day. The stocks still mostly mining bitcoin are not.
TeraWulf, Nebius, IREN, CoreWeave, and five other AI infrastructure stocks are surging together Wednesday, while HIVE Digital and CleanSpark, the two names still mostly mining bitcoin, are red. The split isn't random.
Hyperliquid's Sunday tape shows chip and memory stocks bouncing hard
Western Digital, SanDisk and Micron are all up more than 6% from Thursday's close on Hyperliquid's 24/7 stock perpetuals. Here is the Sunday snapshot, and why it is not the same as Sunday night's real reopen.

Meta selling spare compute doesn't mean the AI crunch is over (META, CRWV, NBIS)
Chip stocks sold off on Meta's plan to rent out spare compute. But Meta itself just got rationed by Google and is locked into take-or-pay deals with CoreWeave and Nebius. Why the overcapacity story is shaky, plus what to watch next week.
Chips had their third worst day of 2026 and the S&P barely noticed (MU, INTC)
The S&P 500 closed within a whisker of flat on July 1 and the chip trade still had its third worst day of the year. Micron fell 10.5 percent, Intel lost 9 percent, and Meta gained almost 9 percent on the other side. Here is the damage report.

It is not just the chips: optics, memory and the neo-clouds all sold off this morning
The whole AI build-out sold off Monday morning, not just semiconductors. Optical names like Coherent (COHR) led the drop, memory (MU) and the neo-clouds fell hard, and Nebius (NBIS) was the lone holdout. What is going on.

SpaceX is joining the Nasdaq-100 barely a month after the largest IPO in history, under a brand-new fast-entry rule. Here is why a $2 trillion company comes in at under 1% weight, how it compares with the other recent additions, and whether the forced buying is actually bullish.
